Crispy Fish Sandwiches with Slaw

As far as fish sandwiches go, this one is pretty classic.  As I did my research for creating this recipe, I found that  traditional crispy fried fish with slaw is really the way to go.  It just works so well, don’t fix it if it’s not broken (I say that, but I will still try, sigh…life as a food blogger).   If you’re not a huge fish fan, or eat a lot of it like I do, this sandwich is a great way to consume more fish without feeling like you are… it’s just a sandwich!

Honey Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cereal Bars

When I was a kid, scotcheroos were a thing.  Way bigger and cooler than the rice crispy treat.  In my adult days, I tend not to indulge in such treats because of their effect on my waistline.  With these bars I decided to make an exception.  They are my adult version of scotcheroos. I made the ingredients a little more wholesome, and the process a little more simple.

Roasted Potato and Trout Salad

I didn’t grow up eating a lot of salads.  But boy do I love them now!  Anything can be tossed together and called a salad.  This salad is traditional in the sense that I use greens to bulk it up.  Roasted potatoes and flaky trout make this dish incredibly filling, which is rare to find in a salad.  Pair it with the creamy dilled dressing and you have a winner!
